Patented July 3, 1951 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CHAMBER POT FORCHILDREN Eduardo Miralta-Seix, Barcelona, Spain Application January 7,1949, Serial No. 69,811 In Spain (Utility Model) February 6, 1948 1Claim. 1

The present invention relates to an improved chamber-pot for children.

It is known that the greatest inconvenience which chamber-pots forchildren ofier, is the circular contour of the borders which press inthe flesh and cause discomfort, preventing children from sitting thenecessary time on the chamberpot. Furthermore, the circular form doesnot prevent, but many times causes the contents to flow out of thevessel, all this constituting a nuisance and trouble.

The applicant has devised a new chamber-pot, after an anatomical studyof the seating parts of the child in contact with said pot, resulting ina form contour of a seat which is technically correct and hygienical,not causing any discomfort to the child and supporting it under thethigh and avoiding that the contents flow out to the exterior, due tothe special form.

Another feature of the present invention is the provision of a supportagainst possible falls back wards which are so frequent with theordinary chamber-pots. This support is constituted by a square-formedchock or brace, which at the same time serves as lug, this providing apractical, aesthetical and hygienical whole.

For a better understanding a sheet of drawings accompanies the presentspecification, showing a case of realisation which is only given by wayof example.

Figure 1 is a side-view, in perspective, of the invention;

Figure 2 is a plan-view of the opening or seat of the invention; and

Figure 3 is a front-view, in elevation, of the same invention.

The present invention consists of a container, moulded from syntheticresin or other suitable material, the opening or seat of which forms anessentially oval elongated contour, of which the posterior zone I isnearly a half-circumference which is united by the tangential concavelines L, to a frontal zone or spout 2, the seat being formed by theupper rims of the chamber-pot, curved towards the outside, so that theyconstitute a convex or half-round curved contour.

The posterior portion of the chamber-pot has a support against possibleback-falls, comprising a brace 3, which at the same time is a lug whichmay adopt different forms, with or without an opening.

Spout 2 is a lip similar to that of a jar, by means of which the pot iseasily emptied.

The external form may vary in a compatible manner with thecharacteristic features described.

The invention within its essentiality may be carried out in othervariations, to which the claimed protection will equally extend. It may,therefore, be manufactured in any form, or size, and employing anysuitable material, all this being comprehended within the spirit of theclaim.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature on myinvention, I declare that what I claim is:

An improved chamber-pot for children, of lengthened contour of its seat,wherein the rim of the said lengthened contour is not in a plane butcorresponds to a sinuous surface relative to a vertical plane passingthrough the major axis of the vessel, the depression being adjacent thewidest or central portion adjacent the rear and the upwardly inclinedportion adjacent the forward portion, While the rim converges forward ofthe enlarged body section on either side and terminates in a narrowpouring spout or lip for the purpose of adapting same in anatomicalrespect to the gluteal region of the childs body, a support on saidchamber-pot externally thereof at the rear portion and in the directionof its longitudinal axis, the lower edge of said support coinciding withthe chamber-pots plane of support and extending rearwardly in asubstantially flat plane therewith, said support having an openingtransversely thereof constituting a handle for the chamber-pot.
